SKINTIGHT @ Geffen Playhouse – Review

Photo by Chris Whitaker

Hanging on by a thread after her ex-husband gets engaged to a much younger woman, Jodi (Tony Award winner Idina Menzel, Rent, Wicked) retreats to her dad’s swanky Manhattan townhouse. But rather than the comforts of home, she instead finds her aging father’s new live-in boyfriend, Trey—who is 20. In his new comedy, Joshua Harmon (Bad Jews, Significant Other) brings neurotic family drama to the forefront as father and daughter contend with the age-old questions of how to age gracefully in a world obsessed with youth and where love fits into it all. Taken from the website. 

GOOD SHOW!

No Exit presents a glimpse into the world of three strangers locked together in a room they hate for eternity. There is no escape: from the room, each other, and worst of all themselves. Taken from website 

Real Art Daily Productions is a film and theatre production company dedicated to representing the stories of those often neglected by mainstream media.  With a dual focus on both the intersectional representation on queerness, ableism, agism and feminine representation and the role of local community engagement within the arts, Real Art Daily Productions is dedicated to producing both theatre and film that challenges what the viewer deems ‘normal’. Real Art Daily Productions is a diverse company, with employees representing a wide range of sexualities, gender identities, cultures and nationalities. The company’s opening production of Jean-Paul Sartre’s famous existential play, No Exit, will be accompanied by a series of talks around social justice and philosophical topics related to the play’s themes, including queerness and feminism in the 1940s, and reflections of existentialism in today’s social climate. These curated conversations will be led by  local and community subject experts in hopes to engage the local Los Angeles community and illustrate the importance of art in representation and expression.

Echo Theater Company presents: The Cake @ Atwater Village Theatre in Los Angeles – Review


(Photo by Darrett Sanders)

From the mind of hit television screenwriter Bekah Brunstetter (This is Us, Switched at Birth) comes The Cake, a play of equal sentimentality and trouble. Main character Della, played by That ’70s Show‘s Debra Jo Rupp, has a knack for cakes, not judgment calls — those usually get sent to her husband. When the girl she helped raise returns to North Carolina with a different fiancee than expected, Della has to decide whether the cake will include two brides atop or not. Taken from the website

GREAT SHOW
Great show! Debra Jo Rupp is an American treasure. Attended this show last week with my wife and brother and his wife. I will admit that it gave a lot to talk about on the ride home. Would have given it five stars, but I found two short scenes to be a bit sleezy. These, I felt were scenes that were unnecessary to the overall theme and they would not have had an impact if they had been omitted. Otherwise .... fantastic show - highly recommend it.
